The ones that succeed fast Do. The ones that succeed slow Contemplate then maybe Do. And then there are those do not succeed that simply don’t Do anything at all.

By “Do” I am talking about mainly the uncomfortable, difficult, and hard tasks that others are unwilling to do.

It’s often the actions that require them to let go of their ego, the ones that cause them to be subject of social stigma, discomfort, and/or negative emotions, or the actions that they know will be difficult in one form or another.

Those that succeed the fastest are those that act, fully invest into their decision to act, and then learn as much as they can from it.

They do this because they put their end goal over their current discomforts.

In doing so, they jump from experience to experience quicker than everyone else, often failing, but learning from every thing they experience.

Those that still succeed, but at a much slower rate are those that contemplate their decisions first.

They take the safer track by figuring out possible results and scenarios and then choose the best option after a while of contemplation.
